Which 1964 musical starring Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle won Best Picture? My Fair Lady won the Academy Award for Best Picture.
George Cukor directed this adaptation of Lerner and Loewe’s stage musical, itself based on George Bernard Shaw’s 1913 play Pygmalion. Audrey Hepburn plays Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower seller whose speech and manners are trained by phonetics professor Henry Higgins, played by Rex Harrison.
The film was a major production for Warner Bros. and became the second-highest-grossing film of 1964, behind Mary Poppins. At the 37th Academy Awards, it won eight Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Harrison, and awards for its music, cinematography, and art direction.
A frequent mix-up concerns Julie Andrews: she originated the role on Broadway, but Hepburn played Eliza in the film. The movie is also distinct from An American in Paris and West Side Story, earlier musical Best Picture winners.
